Chapter 199ย At this moment, Asher was feeling more than a little awkward. He hadnโt expected Lemira to just lose it! Lemiraโs temper seemed to be getting stronger by the day!ย He looked at Lemira and said, โEnough already, why did you have to go and say all that stuff to Eve?โย โEvelina cheating is a fact! Soon, everyone will know that the Langston familyโs adopted daughter is a cheater. But luckily, Iโm the top student, and that has nothing to do with the Langston family.โย Lemiraโs words were sharp as knives. She thought her cold distance would bring her peace.ย But the Langston family were not ones to back down easily, so she had no choice but to fight in a fierce way. If they made her life difficult, she would return the favor!ย The person leading the investigation finally found an opportunity to speak, โThatโs right, the evidence against you, Evelina, is clear. Youย hgated. Weโll discuss this matter and inform the school about the necessary actionsโย โI did not cheat!โ Evelina screamed, her eyes filled with defiance.ย Lemira scoffed, casting a glance at Asher and Lucian Alaric, โShe says she didnโt cheat. Were you guys blind?โย Lemira was curious to see how this fake angel would deny the undeniable evidence now.ย Lucian confronted Evelina, โIf you cheated, just admit it. What exactly happened?โย He had clearly seen Evelina cheating moments ago. There had been rumors of Evelina cheating during the mock exams at school, and eventually, another student was punished.ย Thinking back, there were signs of Evelinaโs dishonesty even then. He couldnโt believe Evelina dared to cheat on this test!ย โLucian, I, I was just passing answers to the student in front of me. She wanted to copy my work!โย In her desperation, Evelina thought of this excuse. Shifting the blame was her specialty.ย Hearing this, Lemira knew exactly what the fake angel was planning. After all, the person sitting in front of Evelina was her sidekick number two.ย Now, theย me scenario that had happened with sidekick number one was repeating itself.ย After Evelinaโs statement, she felt a surge of confidence and addressed the investigator, โThe person in front of me wanted to copy my work. My grades are usually better than hers, so why would I copy from someone with lower grades?โย โSo, youโre admitting to conspiring with the person in front of you to cheat?โย โI did not cheat. It was her copying me.โย Lย Hope sparked in Evelinaโs heart. Yes, just like last time, if she could shift the blame to sidekick number two, she would be off the hook. The person punished last time wasnโt her, after all. This time would surely be no different.ย The investigator spoke coldly, โRegardless of who copied whom, both of your actions constitute cheating!โย Evelina was choked on it, her anxiety rising, โBut Iโm innocent.โย Lemira raised an eyebrow, โSo, even though you knew cheating is wrong, you went ahead and did it, and now you claim innocence?โย Fuming, Evelina broke down in tears, turning to Asher, โAsher, you have to believe me. It was really the person in front of me trying to copy my answers.โย Asher was in a tough spot too. The video evidence was clear, making denial difficult. He said to the investigator, โWeโll hire a lawyer to handle this.โย โIt doesnโt matter. Weโll proceed with the normal process anyway. Weโre leaving now and will inform you of the outcome once we decide.โย Before leaving, the lead investigator glanced at Lemira, โLemira, my daughter really admires you. She thinks youโre smart and a great gamer. Could she get your autograph to encourage her to study harder?โย โLemira, my son also loves gaming, but itโs affecting his grades. Iโll make sure he learns from you, balancing gaming and studies.โ Lemira watched as they handed her a card with her photo printed on it. She was surprised at having merchandise for fans now. She took the card and wrote, โStudy hard and make progress every day,โ before handing it back. With that, the officials left.ย Lย Chapter 200ย
